A webinar on Thursday will share the results of the 27 November to 6 December meeting of the ITU standardization expert group for ‘performance, QoS and QoE’, ITU-T Study Group 12.

< Join the webinar on Thursday 6 December, 15:45-16:30 CET >

Tune-in to learn more about new ITU standards nearing approval for virtual measurement systems, end-to-end QoS for videotelephony over 4G networks, and the impact of initial video-loading delay on users’ experience of video streaming.

Presentations introducing key revisions of ITU standards will address open-source speech coding software and the performance of mobile phones when acting as gateways to vehicle hands-free systems.
